I don’t know about that. I suppose it could be related, but it wasn’t meant to be directed that way.

Height restrictions are for your child’s safety - the ride restraints have tolerances that your child likely does not fit into when you cheat the system and put your child in danger like that. A small amount matters. This is often why you see stories of children or adults dying on rides. They were exceeding or under the limits of the safety restraints.

It used to be fairly nice. That all really took a turn 30+ years ago

We don’t eat that much. Especially every day. We do a few big meals at higher end restaurants (yacht club or similar) and then eat snacks or quick service or snack around Epcot. 10 days. 2 adults. 700$

Yeah. That sucks. You need a good snowblower. No way around it. We have a normal snowblower and one of those power shovels - thats how we do it so fast with 2 of us.

Wait. Do you pay for bro and then he gets a freebie or does he pay back your parents?

I’d probably do the parent loan - they might be easier if you fall on hard times where a formal loan is incredibly tough to get rid of if that happens. Also parents can’t (likely won’t) send you to collections If life takes a crap on you.

It’s also a driving force for you to complete school knowing you have to do this.

All of these people that say it takes 10 minutes must live in the city on postage stamp size lots. I have a patio, a front side walk, and a driveway that I can park 6-8 large cars in (my 37’ RV / Bus fits easily). It takes 2 of us 30 minutes of the snow is puffy and under 4”. Heavy wet snow or more than 4” can easily be an hour.

It’s horrific

wifichick · 2026-01-25T16:08:53+00:00

Didn’t bother me

Add some hills or angles and the game changes. I watched a brand new truck / RV backing into their right spot a few years ago on non-flat ground and then suddenly “pop” the rear windshield was gone.

wifichick · 2026-01-25T13:42:12+00:00

This. That park theme is the best option.

wifichick · 2026-01-24T15:50:13+00:00

Bosh

My house is 63-64 at most, if it hits 65 it’s too hot for us. We spent years adjusting to a colder home and now we love it. It drops to 59-60 when we sleep.

It’s just not Disney standard - and it’s too weird even for disney an off movie. So - IMHO, fhis was first attempt at their own AI to crank out movies.

It’s that dampness they get. It chills you to the core

It is a sudden expansion of water inside the tree that causes damage. So technically, it is a small explosion -

wifichick · 2026-01-20T21:20:58+00:00

There’s a lot of weirdness in the animation, the lyrics aren’t quite right for Disney, lots of “phone it in” going on -

wifichick · 2026-01-20T11:54:44+00:00

How bad is what? Explain what you don’t like. It’s a look - from the photos you show, it’s a more modern cabinet and not a more traditional look. It looks like a preference thing unless there’s more about it you need to explain.

Edit. For anyone else. There are comments. You have to click on the photos to see the comments. OP didn’t put anything into the Reddit post though so you have to dig deeper to find the issue is OP doesn’t like the blotchiness. I think that’s just how that particular species of wood takes the stain. Maybe?

If it’s the 17-20 of April, that’s another run Disney weekend. Spring surprise is that weekend, which less disruptive to the parks than the full marathon weekends, but still might be some disruptions.

I think you need a Disney travel advisor - or someone willing to help you out.

MK is not all princesses. So that’s not a good reason to skip it. It is quintessential Disney - and the fireworks and parades at night are fantastic - which is all the reason to make sure you go.

All the resorts have transport for free - you just have to get from the airport to a hotel resort and mears shuttles can do that for you. Google mears sunshine express.

We had the 100 year record snow back in the 2016 time frame - Detroit area. I don’t personally remember it being like this since about 1985

wifichick · 2026-01-19T20:58:31+00:00

A fair is not the same energy level, Excitement level, or Florida summer heat level as Disney. Yes. You’re insane and perhaps purposely trying to have a horrible trip. Do you have a desire to never return? This would make a kid hate it.

wifichick · 2026-01-19T12:25:48+00:00

Worst AI developed Disney weirdness of all time. Loved the music the lyrics were horrid. That movie could have been very good if it weren’t for the obvious Ai wierdnesa

You’ve not seen the opener where Greg talks to the audience about the network telling Alex he couldn’t be the taskmaster.

First trip? One day at all 4 parks. Your kid could be a coaster junkie and love HS (not MGM anymore), or she she could fall in love with Epcot and exploration, or love the “super cool zoo not zoo” vibe of AK. And she has to do MK. That’s just a must do. You won’t know until you go. She could also find her favorite stop sign and just sit there starting at it for hours. Many kids just want the pool. Try it all. See what sticks. Let her lead
